This is my second baby, but my first section. I'm thinking 24 hours might be a bit unlikely as bf did not start well last time so I have already raised with my mw that I want to get the best possible start for feeding which may mean a slightly longer stay.

Born Friday morning by emc out Sunday afternoon. Would have been out on the Saturday morning but peadtricisn didn't show to do checks because rhey were so busy. I couldn't wait to get home! The noise was horrendous but in retrospect it gave me chance to get breast feeding established which was better had I left on the Saturday I think I wouldn't have managed and probably given formula.

Ds2 1st C-section 2 nights had to have a c-section because of placenta previa. Initial recovery is rapid - but when you get home and try to do some 'normal' things you really notice how weak you are. That said by four weeks I was driving and by five weeks I was lugging a xmas tree across the garden centre car park (huge mistake as I ached for days).
